Mr. J. Bruce Bredin, 
P. O. Box 87, 
Wilmington, Delaware, 
Dear Mr. Bre<iia: 
Dr. Schmitt aesures me that he never denied or 
refused Mr. Amos full permission to write anything that 
he wishea concerning the expedition. I am also informed 
that Dr. Schmitt has granted permission to Mr. Amos to 
use any photogri^hs taken on the expedition. The one 
qualification to these two statements is that in order to 
maintain our really invariable Smithsonian policy I would 
£^preciate it if Mr. Amos could send to me, at my office, 
the material that he expects to publish, in advance of its 
publication. 
I am certainly sorry that Mr. Amos feels that 
there have been great diffic^dties in connection with his 
work on the e:^editioa. I do hope that this letter will give 
him just the information that he requests. I am sure you 
realize that if there is something else that we should do in 
regard to this matter we shall be delighted to try. 
Again may 1 thank you for all the wonderful things 
that you ;md Mrs. Bredin are doing' for the Smithsonian 
Institution. 
Sincerely yours. 
Leonard Carmichael, 
Secretary.
